SamMuk Thai

The food here is decent, though a bit on the pricier side compared to other Thai spots. Service is quick, and the dishes come out fast. The standout for me was the shrimp tom yum—packed with flavor and definitely worth trying. The Thai fried rice was pretty good, and the fried calamari was okay, though a little too oily for my taste. The oysters were surprisingly large, which could be a plus depending on your preference. The Thai iced tea was really good, and the drinks overall were solid. Overall, a decent spot,

I used to come to this restaurant all the time and always enjoyed the food. But after my last visit, I decided I wouldn’t be coming back. We ordered the spicy chicken feet, but it only had a single type of spiciness and the portion was way too small. The fried rice was completely bland, and the noodles, which we ordered medium spicy, were way too spicy and didn’t taste good at all. The rest of the dishes weren’t any better—everything was just bland and lacked flavor. The taste had completely changed .The service wasn’t great before either, but at least it was something I could overlook back then. I hope that in the future, the taste and portion sizes will go back to the way they used to be.

It was my first visit, and I was immediately impressed — from the beautifully decorated interior to the authentic flavors that made me feel like I was back in Thailand. Must-try dishes: Crispy Fried Pork and Sukhothai Noodles — both were absolutely delicious! They’re open late until 2 AM. Perfect spot for a late-night Thai food fix. I’ll definitely be coming back again.

As authentic as you can get for Thai in NYC. With various local and regional dishes, particularly focused on seafood and hence the pretty nautical decor in the restaurant. Not what you are used to seeing in your typical NYC Thai restaurant. So give up your usual curries and try other sauces and broths mixed with chicken feet, pork bone, big meaty oysters, and crispy noodles. Spice levels are also more traditional, so the medium is still quite spicy, so if you want to play it safe for your taste buds, go for the mild. I can handle some spice, so the medium was perfect. The dipping sauces and the chili paste were flavorful and a tad bit spicy. The Thai iced tea was nice, too, as it was balanced and not too sweet. I recommend you challenge your taste buds to try this more traditional and localized based Thai food! Even bring a Thai friend, and I bet they won't be disappointed.

Been here multiple times. Food is delicious. Somtum and Thai Salmon sashimi with spicy sauce are the best. And Can’t go wrong with Crab meat fried rice.

Sam Muk @ Roosevelt Ave, NYC If you're craving real Thai vibes, Sam Muk is the spot! Tried the Som Tum Tard E-Sarn — super flavorful, spicy, and packed with all the goodies! Papaya salad, fermented fish, and sides like crispy pork & noodles all on one tray. A little intense if you're not used to E-Sarn style, but sooo good if you are! Also loved their Hoy Jor (crab & pork rolls) and Leng Zap (spicy pork bone soup) — straight-up fire! The place is clean, modern, and the staff is super nice. Great spot to go with friends and share plates! Come hungry & ready for heat!

Just had another fantastic dinner at Sam Muk, this is what I ordered -Hoy Jor -Yum Salmon & Shrimp -Salmon Tom Yum Soup -Dry crab noodles (personally would have gotten the wet ones instead) -Fish dumplings -Durian ice cream The seafood is super fresh, and tasty, pretty close to what I got when I was in Thailand. I just warn they spice level is aggressive here so regular spicy is more like extra spicy so if you want medium I would tell them mild, lolz I am just so shocked how every time I come here the place is basically empty, we just got back from dinner on a Saturday night and there was only 1 other table occupied, doesn't make sense how this place can stay open...Meanwhile Sriprahai was almost full which is ovverrated and going downhill in my opinion... Anyways check it out and support, don't want this spot to close.

💎 Love this hidden gem 💎 Amazing authentic Thai fare and the kindest staff. I've eaten here a few times and it's always so so good. High quality seafood options with the perfect amount of spice and flavor. Excellent value for the price. I usually try to keep my favorite spots a secret so they don't get swarmed and impossible to get a table at, but every time I go, they only have a few tables, and I NEED them to stay in business so I can keep eating those fat oysters 🦪 Definitely add it to your must-try Thai list!

This spot honestly such a hidden gem in Woodside. The outside doesn't hint at how nice it looks inside, so I was surprised walking in. I ordered drunken noodles with tofu for takeout, and it was good. Just how I like it medium spicy, generous portion, and the prices felt fair for the area. Even though I didn't sit down for a meal, the host still took the time to chat and was genuinely kind and welcoming. This spot is sadly permanently closed now I tried them few months ago. But if they were still in business this be a good spot for Thai cravings.

Recommendations- Hoy Joy, Yum Salmon, Som Tum Pla (if you don't mind the taste of Plara/fermented fish sauce) I was at this unique Thai restaurant a good while ago with one of my larger groups. While most Thai spots concentrate on meat or on certain regions, this place specializes in Thai preparations of fish which is a unique and fun concept. The place itself has a seafood motif from the walls and otherwise and the service was fine. The music was a tad loud especially with us being some of the only customers but they tuned it down. In general, the flavors are on point and the spicy dishes are indeed quite hot though I think this spot would do better closer to Elmhurst than on the border here in Jackson Heights. The first thing that arrived was one of our favorites which was the Hoy Jor for $14 for four pieces of seasoned deep fried crab meat roll with pork which was served with plum sauce. I've had these in other spots before and apparently it comes from the Thai Chinese and this one was particularly good. Compared to many other places where the crab flavor is a bit lacking due to the oil, there was plenty more crab in here and it had a wonderful sweetness which was combined with the very light batter. The pork added some light richness and fattiness as well with the plum sauce going well with it. This was excellent and as with every other review, I would recommend them pretty heavily. Soon arriving was the group's other favorite dish which was the Yum Salmon for $18. Yum in said dish refers to a mix while the rest of the dish description listed salmon sashimi, shallots, culantro, and Thai chili. The dish had plenty of plump pieces of raw salmon with the sauce on the bottom having a nice mix of sourness, spiciness, and a touch of sweetness. The heat was there but wasn't overpowering being just a wonderful accompaniment. This was again excellent and the group finished this very quickly and we were very tempted to order another order. The only other smaller plate and the only dish we got that wasn't seafood based was the Pork BBQ for $12 consisting of grilled pork served with nam jim jaew/Thai Chili dipping sauce. The pork was cooked nicely and it was nice and tender and was overall just a standard good version of Thai BBQ. There was nothing wrong per se but they clearly don't specialize in meat but it's not a throwaway. The biggest of the remaining dishes was the Som Tum Pla for $18 with green papaya salad Isan style with Thai fermented fish sauce, salted crab, mixed vegetables (bamboo shoot, pickled mustards, long beans, tomatoes, Thai eggplant,) Thai chili, vermicelli noodle, and Vietnamese pork sausage served with a side of fresh beansprouts and pork rice. Yes there was a big description and yes this dish was pretty big though it was not the most appetizing for some of the people as they're not used to the fermented fish flavor coming from Thai fermented fish sauce/Plara. The bits of raw salted crab on top were nice for me though I think other people didn't really enjoy them because they're not used to the texture of raw crab. A pro tip for anyone would be to rip off the legs as the entirety of it is thin enough to bite through which makes it easier and the middle/torso is the tastiest part. The bit of pork sausage and noodles in there were nice as were the mostly crunchy vegetables and the few of us who enjoyed the dish gladly ate the majority of the dish. There was also the Fillet Catfish With Basil Sauce for $20 with onion, chili, garlic, bell pepper, and basil leaves. This was a more standard dish you will find in many other Thai places and if you're looking for something that doesn't have too much spice or funk, I would recommend it. The catfish was fried but had a good firm texture and the dish had a tad bit of sweetness, a little bit of heat, and some freshness. It was good. The last was the Crab Noodle for $16 from the Dry Noodle section with dry egg noodles with crab meat, bok choy, beansprouts, scallions, cilantro, garlic, peanut, and crispy wonton skin was good enough. I am more used to the more common version made with pork also called Ba Mee Poo Moo Dang which you can find at a bunch of spots and I kind of missed the red pork in said dish but it was fine. Nice light chewy noodles with a good bit of crab. Nothing super new but it was fine. Of the 6 dishes, we had 3 excellent ones and even the dishes that were just good were still tasty and clearly well made. I wouldn't stop here for generic Thai grub you can get in other spots like pad kee mao or something but if you're looking to expand your palate order, the excellent Thai seafood here.

Nina our bartender and customer care representative was amazing and welcoming! She explained the menu. I had the crispy wings which came with some really flavorful seduces. My co-worker had the smoky steak from the appetizer menu. No stress environment! Clean restroom! Good energy! I would return!

Love that they are open late! (Just bring cash--they don't take cards.) Why drop in at a diner when you get Thai som tum and soup or noodles here? The papaya salad was very fresh and they took me seriously when I asked for it spicy. I was also really impressed with the perfectly cooked shrimp in my soup. Not rubbery like it's been sitting there, but tender. A gem in the Woodside area!

Just wanted to update everyone that the oysters are still super fresh and meaty and sweet, and JURASSIC than ever! My boyfriend and I keep going back for more.

This place came out of nowhere for me. I like to think I have a fairly good understanding of the top Thai places in the area and I absolutely did not see this place coming. For one, it was empty when we went on a Saturday night. The decor is nautical in a way that I didn't mind. The playlist overhead was fire for no reason. The menu is pretty long and has many of the standard things you'd expect but also a lot I wouldn't. It seemed like every review orders hoy jor, so we got this. It's a TON of plump crab meat. The flavoring isn't the MOST interesting but it's a really nice amount of tender meat with a slightly sour dipping sauce. For mains, we went with khao soi to start-one of our go to musts to try when exploring a new Thai place. This was a delightful version of this. The noodles in the soup were delectable and the crispy noodles on top were just enough without being overwhelming. The meat perfectly tear-apart tender. The biggest surprise, though, was the leng zap. I would never have ordered this if it weren't recommended and so heavily featured in all of the reviews. I LOVE that it came with gloves to tear such tender meat off the bone in a really flavorful, sour without being overwhelming, broth. I truly wish I could eat every dish like this. And the price was really surprising, as everything was around the same price and altogether pretty fairly priced. While it's a fairly difficult area to get to, I would definitely come back here to try the rest of their extensive menu.

Wanted to try out a new restaurant that was close by and this popped up. Very convenient from 69th st if you take the 7 train. The staff was extremely nice and super attentive. Food was really good. It was also decently priced and the portions were filling. Will def be back.

The food that I eat does NOT LIKE TO LISTEN TO VERY LOUD MUSIC when it is going down my throat. There were hardly any diners in the restaurant but still could NOT TURN DOWN THE VERY LOUD MUSIC.

This is a gem on 65th & Roosevelt Ave in Woodside. Hoy Jor: fried dumpling with crab meat. There were good pieces of lump crab meat in each dumpling. Dipping the dumpling in plum sauce elevated the taste! This is a MUST HAVE! Herb chicken wings: 3 pieces of good size chicken wings. Came with 2 sauces. One was spicy. Butterfly pea lemonade: beautiful purple drink Pad Thai with chicken: MUST HAVE! This is one of the best pad Thai we had. Can't believe we didn't know about this place sooner. I thought it was better than Sri Pra Phai next block over. This is our new favorite place. Pad see eew with chicken: not bad. I think we were too full from all the food we ordered. We had to pack it for lunch tomorrow. Favorites tonight were the Hoy Jar and the pad Thai. This place deserves more recognition for its good food. Our 2 waitresses were super nice. It was a quiet night. Music was good. And the TV was playing Asian pop music videos. Restrooms were like hotel lobby restrooms. Very clean with modern, nice decor. Definitely need to come back and try other dishes. We didn't have room in our belly for dessert. I guess we'll have to come back again.

Ambiance and service were great. We ordered a Thai Pink Milk smoothie, Hoy Jor, Crispy Pork, Leng Zap, and Crab Noodle. Nice little Thai spot in Woodside/Jackson Heights serving some very authentic dishes. Hoy Jor - Deep fried pork and crab meat in a tofu skin. Really enjoyed this since it was very tender and packed with a decent amount of crab meat. Dipping sauce was a little sweet and tangy. Crispy Pork - Super crispy, crunchy pork belly. Dipping sauce was salty, tangy/sour. Great appetizer as well. Leng Zap - Pork bone soup. A literal mountain of tender pork spine in a very flavorful soup. We got ours with mild spice and it still had a kick to it so be mindful of Thai spiciness! The soup is very sour and bold in flavor. They give you some plastic gloves to help with pulling apart the meat and there is definitely plenty of meat. Extremely tender and fall of the both. Some parts you have to really dig out but worth it. Feeds 2-3 people for sure. Crab noodle - Noodles with chunks of crab meat, seasoning, peanuts, boy choy, bean sprouts, and a lime. Mix together to get a nice noodle with light crab flavoring, very nice dish as well.

Extra Large Fresh Oysters! Fresh oysters are good enough reason to cross the toll bridge from Westchester to Queens. Served Thai-style with fresh mint, crunchy scallions and other special sauces, each of these humongous oysters is happiness in a shell . One oyster is very filling, but I had four and if only I didn't eat other dishes, I could have finished more. The addition of mint to the oysters made the briny flavor bright and fresh. Also worth highlighting is the affordable but exquisitely and freshly made drinks. I tried the purple colored butterfly pea lemonade and Nom Yen aka the pink milk. The layers of flavor were delightful. If only I lived closer, I probably would come regularly just for the assortment of drinks alone. All the expensive cafes and big name chains like Starbucks will be put to shame. Barely been open for a year, this affordable and authentic Thai spot in Woodside brought back memories of that Thai trip we enjoyed years back, before the Michelin had invaded the culinary queen destination of Southeast Asia. But fortunately I don't even have to board a plane because in New York, we have Queens, that in my book of eating is definitely the queen of all boroughs in restaurant diversity, affordability and authenticity. Yasss, Queens! Kupon ka, @sammuknyc ! I shall return #curious_eater #woodsidequeens #queeneats

I've been meaning to come here for a while, and I'm glad I finally got to taste their food. I was wary of the ladies waiting around the door, but they didn't bother my friend and I, so that's all that mattered. From the outside, the place doesn't look that large and looks non descriptive. Once you walk inside, it is fairly modern looking, and the place is pretty large. Everything is very clean as well. The menu was pretty extensive, so we had to ask for recommendations. Based on the recommendations and what people wrote, we ordered the hoy jor, leng zap, and tum thai seafood mild. The hoy jor are the crab cakes, which is a real crab. The leng zap's broth was really good, and however you order it is how it comes out. We got medium level, and that was still spicy, and the portion size was good for two people. The salad was good, too. All in all, I would like to return to try other thinga off their menu.

Sammuk is an interesting concept because I don't think I have seen a Thai restaurant in New York that puts such an emphasis on Thai seafood dishes. When you get to the restaurant it is very nautical, I wouldn't necessarily think Thai nautical but nautical none the less lol A point of mention, the medium spice packs a punch, if you can't handle heat order mild. The food: Hoy Jor- Fried crab dumpling. It was fucking excellent!!! Most places use the frozen ones that they buy outside, the ones at Sammuk are made in house and it shows. For me, it reminded me of how fat the wontons and dumplings are at Maxi's Noodles in Flushing. These hor jor were super stuffed and fried to perfection. Absolute must order. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=EHd7IU4OL8jZ14_pXKprrg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Crab Fried Rice- l I don't normally make a big deal about fried rice but since this was a crab version, I say this was delicious. The rice was cooked well, seasoned well and it had a good amount of crab. Yes, the crab isn't as sexy as the one you get in Thailand but they made due with the ingredients they had on hand. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=BPS5LXCMROL6RMhFGLQHrA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Leng Zap- The Leng Zap is kind of the show stopper dish. It's the dish that arrives and everyone is like what the fuck is that????? But the version here was great, the broth was flavorful but should be more punch you in the face assertive but the pork spine in the soup was so incredibility tender. The combination of the broth, chilies and pork would be spectacular on a cold Winter day. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=JneCrjklvOu5od8bOE8T-g&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Yum Salmon- is a dish I get in Thailand all the time and the version here was good, it was kind of a Thai dish meets Japan, the flavor of the sauce and the salmon were excellent, I just wish they chopped the red onion a bit thinner. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=a-HZ7jVjR0PSCnc4rVjrKw&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Crab Dong- It's raw marinated crab, it was good but a bit hard to eat, also thought the meat was a bit too sweet from the marinade for me, but I am not a fan of sweet in my savory in general. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=WMGWbuig2rzhaV7e2dV-NA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Thai Raw Oysters- For me, I was really hoping to love the Thai oyster dish but I was just so so with the oysters. They were huge but unfortunately came off very bland to me and I normally love raw oysters. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rVHMdJUKiu91TbUV9I08AQ&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Tum Tad Sam Muk- There is an option to order it with or without the fermented fish, I think I should have ordered it without since the flavors were bit too intense even for me. The platter is beautiful and has a bunch of stuff but the fermented fish flavor lingered. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=9OZcI8AUpZ3L71ibX3MgBQ&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA

Discover the Bold and Authentic flavors of Thailand in sammuk , where spices take center stage in a culinary adventure like no other. Their menu featuring many fresh, spicy seafood dishes, a unique twist on Thai Food. You should try the Leng Zap ( Pork spine soup ), the meat was tender and the soup combined with the spices is spectacular especially in the winter time. The Hoi Jor ( Homemade deep fried crab and pork roll ) is also so delicious, it stuffed with a lot of crab meat. We really enjoy the food here, The cozy beach-themed interior and the top notch service adds charm to your dining experience. At Sammuk-it's more than a restaurant, it's a spicy Thai Adventure.

Authentic Thai flavors. Just be careful when you order spicy, they mean business here and that's saying alot since we're Thai. Service is pretty good they check in on you often. The food also comes out quick. Been here a few times and had no issues. Ambiance is nice. Restaurant is clean.

I stopped by here recently after it being on my to try list, it is definitely one of the odder experiences I've had at a restaurant. I find the restaurant, a bunch of hookers were standing right outside of it at the door (pretty much nobody inside of the place). I go inside, order a Som Tum Talay and a sam muk Noodle Soup. As I was eating the Noodle soup, one of the girls comes in and gives cash to the staff and walks out.. with no food. After I left, the girls tried to get my business and i Noped my way out. Homey don't play that. That being said, the food itself was fresh and tasty, Som tum talay=seafood very good/tender. Papaya tastes fresh.Dressing is sweet but not too sweet, also good spicyness. Light and refreshing. Sam muk noodle soup=Good spicyness, strong pork flavor, tons of various pork parts in it. Broth relatively oily. Decent dish though. Overall: Not coming back, while the food was decent enough. Pushing through hookers to get in and getting annoyed by them when I leave, isn't what I'm looking for in a restaurant.

First time trying raw salmon in not japanese cuisine but was pleasantly surprised. Instead of enhancing the fattiness of salmon, the salty sweet of the marinade give the salmon a whole new flavor and add another level with the spice from thai chilis and special sauce. I do wish the fish was less chewy and fresher. The sam muk noodles were interesting and kept me busy between the pork cutlets, ribs, and tongue but the rice noodles themselves were definitely overcooked and fell apart when picking them up with chopsticks. Overall decent value for authentic thai food and unique menu offerings.

A great little spot to get a quick bite or to come eat with your family. I went for late dinner on a Thursday and had a great experience. -Crispy Pork Belly 1000/10 -Mango Salad 1000/10 -Fried Vanilla Ice cream 1000/10 I also had spicy margarita during Happy Hour. It's great to find a place that has happy hour past 6pm. I will definitely be coming back!

I once ordered the papaya salad with fermented fish when they first opened and felt the flavor wasn't consistent. Today I decided to give it another chance, but it still wasn't good. The taste wasn't distinctive at all--just full of MSG and spiciness, without any sweetness, sourness, or saltiness. It was bland, the portion was small, and the price was unreasonable.

One of the best Thai restaurants I've been to since moving to the east coast from California. The service was fast, and they were all super sweet. They're open late for any midnight cravings. Everything was delicious and spicy! Would definitely come back again and again! We loved it here. Want to try the whole menu.

Food is so good and Thai spiced so order cautiously if you are not into spicy food. My nose was running in the best way possible. They have dishes that are not mainstream Thai which were so delicious. Service was great and they were so patient with our little one even if she wanted to be walking around. Thankfully it wasn't a busy night so she wasn't a bother to anyone. Will definitely stop by when in the area again. Good luck to this new resto!

This is my Top3 exactly Authentic Thai taste in NYC to me. I have been to this restaurant for several times. That is why i feel confident enough to write the review. Thank you chef to make us feel like home and i am appreciated with your service.

Cute little seafood focused Thai place in a most random location. They are waiting for the liquor license. Wings and Beef noodles are very tasty.

Everything was fantastic! What a great addition to the neighborhood. The ambiance is top notch and a nice change from the more hole in the wall vibes in Jackson Heights. Beautiful seaside decor, cool lights at the bar, and great music at a comfortable volume. But, I came for the food and it delivered! Khao Soi Chicken tastes like it came straight from Chiang Mai, Spring Rolls were crispy, but the Calamari Mango Salad was my favorite! Perfectly cooked and sauced just right. We also tried the pad see ew and shrimp with basil sauce which were very good. Don't forget a Thai beer and fried icecream to round out the meal. Prices and portions were awesome and the hospitality was ever better. I will be back soon!

I have to say, we were flip flopping on what to eat for dinner last night and finally decided to go to Thai, I found this restaurant on Yelp since we were in the neighborhood to pick up my daughter. We ordered the roti massaman for apps and it was on point. I got thai basil with mixed seafood and it was delicious except for the calamari, it was a little chewy. My hubby got the red snapper and it was very yummy. We shared the crab fried rice and that was so good. We were so full we couldn't even order dessert, I really wanted to try the coconut pudding or the mango sticky rice. I guess we'll have to come back to try it. Great neighborhood gem. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

Here I am at another Instagram hyped place. After shoveling snow on Saturday morning, I was asked to take a ride out to Woodside for some Thai food. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by the waiter and seated. As we browsed through the menu, the Mrs made it clear that we're definitely getting the Leng Zap. As I ordered the Sam Muk's salad, Yum Chicken Feet and the Hoy Jor as an appetizer: 1) Yum Chicken Feet, tender chicken feet swimming in fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, onions, scallions and chili peppers. Each bite of the tender chicken feet was refreshing followed by a kicking spice that'll leave your mouth slowly burning. The heat was quickly cooled off simply sipping the Butterfly Pea Lemonade. 2) The Hoy Jor, which was deep fried in a beancurd wrap filled with pork and crab meat served with plum sauce, recommended by the awesome waiter. 3) The Leng Zap was the star of the meal. Loaded with pork spines bathing in a big bowl of spicy and sour soup. There's no gentle way of approaching this dish. Get some soup in the bowl and use your fingers to remove the yummy pork of the bone and into your bowl of soup before consuming...or eat the meat first and followed with a spoon of spicy and sour soup. I enjoyed the delicious bones where the flavors were embedded into the cracks and nooks of the bone. There were too many dishes to choose from and it'll take a larger party or just us returning a few more times to enjoy the rest of the menu. Sam Muk 's food is tasty and introduced a different flavor to our palates. Do swing by and give it a try!

Crab noodle was affordable and delicious. Will come back to try other things. They offer delivery in the neighborhood

Best Thai food I've had so far. The service was very good and restaurant decor was very cute. We shared the papaya salad (spicy = Thai spicy) so adjust it to your comfort level, it was perfectly spicy and well seasoned. Beef noodle soup was so comforting with a good amount of beef and gelatinous parts. Shrimp basil was spicy and flavorful. Best part was the Thai coconut ice cream to cool everything down. Will definitely be back for more.

Basil fried rice was a bit gummy, maybe due to time elapsed before eating. Herb wings were so-so. Giving four stars because of the wonderful customer service.

This is one of those spots that deserves to go viral. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the kindest server. She kindly guided us around the menu, and helped us make some delicious choices! I loved absolutely everything. I'm typing this as I'm planning my next night out there. Can't wait to try a cocktail!

i've been here twice now, and have a really great experience both times. the first time i was only there for pick-up shortly after sam muk had opened, and i was drawn in by the menu that has some items that you don't commonly see. on my first visit i got the khao soi beef noodle, but unfortunately i had to do some travelling with the dish right after and couldn't eat it on the spot. it was a little greedy of me to order noodles for take-out (not my ideal situation), but i couldn't resist. the khao soi was still great, particularly the broth, but i knew i hadn't tried it at its best. i decided that i would have to return at some point and try to eat in-house while everything was recently made. i also ordered the fried taro, which *did* travel well (and reheated very easily!) and was absolutely delicious. on my next visit, i was able to order the dry crab noodle, which i really deliberated on ordering vs. the khao soi that first time. this was DELICIOUS. i can highly recommend this - the light coating on the noodles, the flavor, the crab, everything. there was also a special dessert available that day which, according to our really kind and awesome server, was handmade by the owner. the love and care by the owner really comes across in each dish and i was so happy that i got to try it (and will come back and hopefully catch sam muk on another day it's available!). the seating inside is wide and spacious, and i can foresee this restaurant getting popular quickly. i can't wait to try more dishes and spread the word, because i was impressed not only by their food but their staff and service, which only puts the cherry on top. hopefully will be in the area again soon.

A gem in this section of Roosevelt Ave. The menu features dishes that aren't seen in most Thai restaurants, such as Taro with sweet chili and crushed peanut sauce and fried crab appetizers. Papaya salad was nicely prepared. Tom Yum soup with pork leg was very fresh and tasty. They adjust spice to your abilities. The Thai Iced Tea was perfect. Staff was very welcoming and efficient. The décor and presentation of dishes is pleasant. We will definitely return for some other dishes

I usually order from this place twice a week. Today I ordered papaya salad extra COOKED shrimp. Got RAW shrimp all over. And when I called he said please put raw shrimp in Microwave. Lol NEVER going to order from this place again.

Oh so good... Decent sized small plate portions, but all that means is you are able to order more variety and enjoy all kinds of different dishes. I really enjoyed the crab rolls, they were so perfectly crispy and flavorful, I don't know how they did it! Everything really was a great new experience for me. I've never tried raw oysters with the sauces and toppings they served with it. They were amazing! Service was also top notch, and loved the nautical decorations.

The food is amazing and I love the ambient. I would recommend their drinks they have interesting drinks. Love the seafood salads and the oysters are really big

I'm Thai and this place makes it to one of my top 3 Thai restaurants in NYC. I barely posted review but this place is so amazing I want them to thrive. The food is FANTASTIC. Very fresh seafood and the taste is like in Thailand. Great and attentive service. Fun sea side ambiance. I highly recommend Oysters (so HUGE), Leng and Yum. For dessert, go for coconut ice cream with palm seeds. Amazing coconut smoothies too. Definitely will come back!

I'm not sure how this place has such good ratings. I normally don't leave reviews but the food was so bad that I had to say something. I ordered the squid fried rice and the pink milk drink. The fried rice tasted like frozen seafood. You know when you purchase a frozen seafood pack from the grocery store then thaw it and it has that liquid at the bottom of the bag? That exactly how the rice tasted. As if they cooked the squid frozen with the rice. It even smelled like the pack of frozen seafood. It also didn't have any type of seasoning topossibly mask that taste. The squid was just as bland as the rice. The pink milk drink tasted like it was sprayed with fragrance. I'm not sure what was in the drink but it tasted very odd. I do not like bashing restaurants but I purely disappointed and couldn't even finish 1/4 of my meal before I threw it away. A waste.

Service 5/5 Food - tomyum soup 5/5 amazing!!!!! Not too salty, huge portions and affordable and fresh Oysters - 5/5 Must visit. Thanks for opening in a gem in Queen!!

This place is new, the wife and I came and were really blown away by some of the unique dishes they have. The marinated shrimp and salmon were really fresh and the oyster was some of the best you can find in the New York. Highly recommend for a visit.

My go-to Thai food! Good food and friendly service! Highly recommended. I always order Tum Pa and chicken wings. Also love the Kao Lao braised beef. Thai flavors!

Nice place. Food very good so yummy The waiters provide good service, friendly.i happy to come

Everything we tried was delicious, we ordered all appetizers for our meal tonight but we can't wait to come back to try their entrees. Their coconut smoothie & coconut ice cream were also fantastic. Great quality food and friendly staff, would highly recommend to anyone seeking an authentic Thai restaurant in this area!

What a great find: the food is delicious and you get so much value here compared to eating at similar restaurants in Manhattan. The very reasonable prices here were very satisfying.

Nice hidden place that I found by chance. The meals are almost perfect and well balanced, the drinks and desserts as well, the staff are super nice and the space is clean. I am coming here again for sure.

Unique Thai place with fresh seafood. We had the raw shrimp and salmon (so good), raw oysters (these are huge), pork belly (very crispy), crab noodles, Sam muk noodle with fried ice cream and sticky rice. Everything was good and waiter was nice. Reasonably priced for what it is especially compared to Manhattan. We will have to come back to try the drinks!

I must say love the look of the place with the Nautical sea vibe. Had so many tasty dishes. I recommend the Leng Zap and Rare Beef BBQ. Both excellent dishes. Try some Kha Soi Beef, excellent curry flavor and don't pass up the Yum Crispy Pork appetizer. Service was great.

First of all...Food and services were amazing. We had yum wooden seafood and yen ta fo noodle. Highly recommended.

The Yen Ta Fo, Papaya salad, and marinated shrimp and salmon are so good here. I've been waiting for a restaurant that executes these authentic dishes well because most Thai restaurants dumb it down or are unable to make it taste like what you get in Thailand. But this restaurant does it right! I'm going to come back for sure!
